Friends of Kibimba Hospital

Friends of Kibimba Hospital is partnering with Burundi Yearly Meeting of Friends to restore the hospital at Kibimba. Our desire is to make available both medical and spiritual healing for the community by improving staffing, facilities and equipment at the hospital. We will channel funds and short-term workers to help, with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency.

Dr. Ellen Sigley Losew was able to travel to Burundi with the EFC-MAYM Saltshaker team this summer. One of her main purposes for going was to teach a course on Infant Resuscitation to the doctors and nurses at the hospital. This was a need that Dr. Losew became passionate about after her initial visit to the hospital in 2012. These pictures show the demonstration dolls & kits that were purchased by FKH, and Dr. Losew and Dr. Elisee teaching the class. Dr. Losew is tentatively planning another trip to Burundi to teach another class in early 2017.

Thanks to the generous donations of our
friends & supporters, we have enough funds to order the new
commercial washing machine for the hospital. However, we have now been
informed that the government in Burundi is going to charge us $6,000 in
taxes on it.

We do not have these funds on hand. Would you consider
making a donation by the end of September to help with this unexpected
expense?
